THE SPLIT MODE The PSR-200/PSR-300 SPLIT mode allows you to play two voices at once - one with the left hand and one with the right. The left-hand voice can be played to the left of the "split point," set as described below, and the right-hand voice can be played to the right of the split point. 1. Press the [MODE] button as many times as necessary until the SPLIT indicator lights - this selects the SPLIT mode. 2. If necessary, set the split point as described below: Setting the SPLIT Mode Split Point: The split point for the SPLIT mode is initially set at the C3 key. It can be set to any other key by pressing the desired split-point key while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The split point is shown on the MULTI DISPLAY for as long as the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button is held. The C3 key, for example, would be displayed as "C3". F#2 would be displayed as "F-2". The sharp is indicated by the lit bar between the "F" and the "2." The SPLIT mode split point is retained in memory and will be recalled whenever the SPLIT mode is selected. Note that the split-point key is included in the righthand section of the keyboard. 3. Select the right-hand and left-hand voices as required. When the SPLIT mode is first selected the current voice is assigned to the right-hand keys. If no other left-hand voice has been selected since the PSR-200/PSR-300 was turned ON, the ELECTRIC BASS voice (number 82) will be assigned to the left-hand keys. The left-hand voice is octave-shifted to provide the best sound in the left-hand range. Changing the Right and Left-hand Voices: Make sure the [VOICE/STYLE] button VOICE indicator is lit (press the [VOICE/STYLE] button once if it isn't). To change the right-hand voice press a key to the right of the split point. The current right-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new righthand voice can be selected in the normal way. To change the left-hand voice press a key to the left of the split point. The current left-hand voice number will be shown on the MULTI DISPLAY and a new left-hand voice can be selected in the normal way. When playing in the SPLIT mode, the MULTI DISPLAY will switch between the left- and right-hand voice numbers according to whether notes are played on the left- or right-hand section of the keyboard. The PSR-300 DUAL indicator flashes according to the left- and righthand section DUAL mode settings when the SPLIT and DUAL modes are used together. To initialize the split point to its original default value, turn the [POWER] button on while holding the [SPLIT POINT CHANGE] button. The SINGLE FINGER and FINGERED split points (described later) are also initialized by this procedure. 6
